Raw PHP in markdown

[mhlinder]

I am trying to inject some php into an otherwise-static page, but --parse-raw and markdown_in_html_blocks do not directly address this, and indeed nor do they resolve it:

$ echo '<?php echo 1; ?>' | pandoc -f markdown -t html
<?php echo 1; ?>
$ echo '<?php echo "1"; ?>' | pandoc -f markdown -t html
<p>&lt;?php echo &quot;1&quot;; ?&gt;</p>

What seems to break this is the inclusion of quotes—which is necessary for, eg, a call to include.

This issue boils down to:

--parse-raw will mistake raw PHP containing no quotation marks for valid-but-untranslateable HTML. But raw PHP containing double quotes is correctly flagged as invalid HTML, so that it is treated as literal text that contains substitute HTML entities for raw characters like >, <.

Short of implementing a separate writer for PHP, one fix would be the option to write invalid HTML by disabling conversion to entities (see also, eg, Issue 2410).

Can you give a short example?
Also, what version of pandoc are you using?

Sorry, I see the example now (reading mail backwards).

I think that this is fixed in the most recent version of pandoc.

% echo '<?php echo "1"; ?>' | pandoc 
<?php echo "1"; ?>

Right on, that was it...thanks

Hi,

This issue was resolved because at the time, I had been running an old version of pandoc.

It appears this has broken again, could we please reopen this issue?

[jgm]

This seems to have broken some time between 1.19.2.1 (works) and 2.0.6 (doesn't work).
Need to look at the 2.0 changelog for changes that might have broken this.
It could also have something to do with changes to the tagsoup library we compile against.

[jgm]

Fixed.

Thank you!
